I just pre-ordered mine from Lucky Model. With it came a U.S. Coast Guard HTL-4 for $1.00, plus free airmail shipping! Heck of a deal.

Cary if you don't mind me asking what did you end up paying for it. Also the Coast Guard HTL-4, what exactly is it, and for a buck...not bad. Good deal.

...the Coast Guard HTL-4, what exactly is it...

Not sure what comes as the package deal, but an HTL-4 is a USCG Bell-47w/floats. Academy does one in 1/35.

HTL-4:


Academy 1/35 model


If it is the Academy kit, it is a great model. Same as their MASH Bell-47 w/added float set.

Thanks Gino, I knew the Helicopter but wasn't sure if it was a book, kit and in what scale. Heck if it is one of those Academy kits, that a great deal.

Joe, I paid $59.99 for the Sea Stallion and a buck for the HTL-4. And like I said, airmail shipping was free! And yes, it is the same HTL-4 that Gino showed in his post. If you're interested, here's a link: http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=AC%2012209
